Chapter 450: Martian Manhunter
DC World, Midtown's cutting-edge lab.
Tang Tian entered the code and walked in, only to find that Dr. Wells and Barry were already waiting for his arrival.
"Hey, Don, you're back, we thought you were going to have a while?"
Dr. Wells walked over to look at Tang Tian and said with a smile.
"Yes! I've been on Mars for a while, no, it's Krypton now. ”
Tang Tian said with a smile, obviously having finished dealing with the matter on Krypton.
"Don, you've done the Justice League a great favor this time, and Superman is very happy with your decision." Barry said excitedly.
"That's normal, isn't it? Superman Serious has his own race, so it's not a problem at all. ”
Tang Tian looked at Barry and explained softly.
"By the way, how about you go for a drink?" Sisko walked over, looked at Tang Tian and said with a smile.
"Absolutely, no problem." Tang Tian looked at Sisko and nodded and said.
Then, when they were all ready, they walked out into the distance, and the whole Midtown was filled with cheers, and it was obvious that they were also extremely happy when the earth crisis was resolved.
In the bar, Sisko and Dr. Wells ordered a glass of brandy, and Tang Tian and Barry drank a glass of vodka, but they had a very lively conversation.
"By the way, I want to ask what caused you to help those Kryptonians." Dr. Wells asked, confused.
"Of course, I sensed that there was a crisis on Earth, and I needed to keep them alive, and the Kryptonians would protect us."
Tang Tian explained as a matter of course, without the slightest hesitation.
"That's it! It seems that you have a keen sense of danger. ”
Dr. Wells nodded and said, as if he understood Tang Tian's words.
Suddenly, a spiritual force enveloped the surroundings, making Tang Tian's eyes reveal a glimmer of light, obviously a guy with telepathy came over.
"Hello, my name is John Jones, can I talk to you alone?" John looked at Tang Tian and said seriously.
"Detective, is there anything you can help with?" Barry said with a strange look at John.
"No, it's just a small thing, so it needs to be talked about."
John shook his head and said, not saying his purpose.
Barry and Sisko glanced at each other and nodded silently, obviously also wanting to see what tricks the person in front of him was going to play, Barry ate his body, and felt a strange spiritual power, which seemed to be extremely powerful.
When Tang Tian heard John Jones, he knew that the guy in front of him was one of the members of the Justice League and had a unique telepathic ability.
Centuries ago, the green Martians Mai Rong and Sahi, who lived on Mars, gave birth to a pair of twins, which is unusual in Martian culture, and very few twins are born. The eldest of the brothers was named Jon Junz, the future Martian Manhunter, which means "Supreme Light" in Martian; And the little one was born a mutant Martian and did not inherit the telepathic abilities of the Martians. He was named Malafark, which means "Heart of Darkness".
Many years later, Jon's mutant brother, Marefaq, became very resistant to Martian culture and hated his planet, so he designed a virus called "Rongmir's Curse" against his own people.
The miraculous thing is that this virus, transmitted through telepathy, infects patients when people communicate telepathically, and casts a shadow in the patient's psyche, taking advantage of the Martians' fear of fire, making them imagine that they are burned by fire, and constantly increasing their mental tension, eventually causing the flesh to really spontaneously combust and die.
Jung asks his wife and daughter to avoid using telepathy as much as possible to avoid being infected, but they still can't escape their fate.
Coincidentally, a quasi-scientist named Saul Ode on Earth designed and built a conveyor using the legendary ancient Martian technology.
He wanted to try to make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, so he chose Mars, which is closer to the Earth, and activated the equipment. As a result, the beam of light traveled through time and space, hitting the Martian Manhunter centuries ago, and taking him to modern-day Earth, landing in front of Dr. Od's lab in Colorado.
Eventually, Dr. Ode guided John to become a great guardian, using the name "Martian Manhunter" and being active in the area of the International City.
Tang Tian looked at John Jones, recalling the past glory of Mars, and wanted to see what the other party's origin was like.
"Mr. John, what is the matter with me? I don't think I need help looking into something! ”
Tang Tian looked at John and said calmly.
"Of course, it's just a few minor issues." John said with emotion.
"Do you know Mars?" John stared at Tang Tian again and said thoughtfully.
"Of course, the planet that was once the same as the Earth is now barren." Tang Tian replied without hesitation.
"Let me tell you a story!" John explained to himself: "There was once a pair of twin brothers born in the Martians, the elder brother has the ability to telepathize very normally, but the younger brother hates the whole planet."
"Go on, it's an interesting story." Tang Tian looked at John and said calmly.
"In the end, my brother researched the virus and destroyed Mars, and my brother was teleported to Earth and hidden among humans."
John continued to explain, looking up at John earnestly.
"Of course, you're that brother, Jung, say it! Find me what I want to ask. Tang Tian looked at John and said.
"Thank you for saving Earth and transforming the environment on Mars." John said sincerely.
"Nothing, I'm also an earthling." Tang Tian waved his hand and said.
"Of course, I've been living on Earth for decades, and the Ph.D. has inspired me a lot."
John flashed his memories and smiled with relief at the thought of the doctor who brought him here.
"By the way, don't you hate me for letting the Kryptonians take over Mars?" Tang Tian said strangely.
John raised his head, shook his head and explained: "Mars, who has lost its people, is no longer my homeland, and the Kryptonians are just like us, so their words are at least of some use."
"Very well, John, you deserve to be the Martian Manhunter." Tang Tian said in admiration.
"Haha, of course, you can also call me Agent John." John said confidently, as if he had untied a knot.
"Then let's be there! With your abilities, you can consider joining the Justice League to keep the planet safe. ”
Tang Tian looked at John, stretched out an olive branch and said.
"Of course, wait a while! Let me finish my work! ”
John nodded, and had no idea of objecting to Tang Tian's words.
